Although there is nothing wrong with growing old gracefully, most of us, if we’re honest, are in no rush to start looking older any sooner than we need to be. It has never been easier to maintain a youthful look than it is right now, so why should we not do what we can to turn back time and look our best?

You don’t have to go under the knife to look more youthful either; there are numerous beauty tricks that will help you to turn back time and maintain that youthful glow if you’re so inclined and some of them will actually benefit your health overall too…

Eat Your Fruits and Veggies

Eating plenty of fruits and vegetables, and drinking lots of water too, for that matter, is one of the best things you can do for your body as a whole. Not only will it help you to maintain a healthy weight and get all of the vitamins and nutrients you need, but it will also help to keep your skin smooth, plump, clear and glowing with radiance. It’s no hardship to eat well, and it will give you great results, so what are you waiting for?

Exercise

You knew it was coming, didn’t you? Along with eating well, exercising regularly is one of the best things you can do if you want to turn back or suspend time, in terms of your looks. The more you exercise, the tighter and more toned you will be, which means you’ll avoid middle-aged wobble, jowls and weight gain. Find an activity you love and do it as much as you can, then it won’t feel like a chore.

Wear Sunscreen

You should always wear sunscreen if you want to look as young as possible for as long as possible. The rays of the sun might feel amazing on the skin, but they can ravage it like nothing else, so you need to protect yourself from them. The trick is to wear a SPF30 sunscreen even when the sun isn’t shining - if you’re going outside, cover yourself with sunscreen. Do this and you’ll be less wrinkles and aged than your peers who are free and easy about the sun.

Early to Bed

If you’re a night owl and you still have to get up early each morning, you might want to think about changing that because beauty sleep really is a thing. In order for your body to function well, it needs its rest. If you get at least 8 hours a night, it will be far easier for your body to restore and renew itself. Which means your skin will be fresher and more youthful for longer. There are plenty of tips to help you sleep better if it is something you struggle with. Of course, if the holistic stuff doesn’t help, you may need to see your doctor about medication. Try as much as you can to get that sleep because it will age you if you don’t, but more importantly, it could make you sick! Sleep is so important.

Apply Your Concealer Cleverly

So many of us don’t know how to apply our concealer for the best results, but if you can do this, you will always be able to look more youthful than you actually are, whether you’re already young, or more mature in years.

For example, dabbing a small amount of concealer on the inner corners of the eyes and the nose is a great way to lighten dark spots and brighten up your whole face, and applying a little around the rims of your nostrils will take away and redness for a fresh-faced look that will take the years off.

Use a Whitening Toothpaste

As we get older, our teeth naturally become more stained and discolored, even if we have looked after them quite well. So, along with visiting the dentist and hygienist regularly and maintaining a good tooth care regime, it is not a bad idea to start using a gentle tooth whitening toothpaste, which will lift stains and brighten up your smile.

If you want to do something even more effective, you could look into professional dental tooth whitening, but this is more expensive, and must be carried out by a professional. It will get you good results.

Botox and Fillers

If you already have quite a few wrinkles and fine lines, you might want to consider having botox and filler, particularly in the forehead and neck areas. If you look at ‘neck injections: can neck injections reduce wrinkles?’ you will see that such procedures can be quite effective and they are not nearly as invasive as going under the knife.

If this kind of thing isn’t for you, you could also try derma rollers which are less expensive, but can have pretty goods results. They’re great for dealing with scarring too.

Get Regular Facials

If you can afford it, having regular facials, where your face is massaged, and quality products are used, will help to keep your face looking firm, tight and fresh. You can buy facial spa products at the store if cash is tight, but you will need to learn how to massage your face effectively if you want to do it yourself.

Wear Tinted Moisturizer

Tinted moisturizer is ideal for giving your a more youthful appearance, especially if you have been good about taking care of your skin. It does not dry out and dullen the skin like many more heavy-duty moisturizers, and research has shown that it really does make you appear younger. If you only use one beauty product on your face, it should be this one!

Do Yoga

Not only is yoga great at relaxing the mind and body and toning you up, but it could also make you appear younger too. It’ll sort out your posture - and everyone knows a slouched posture can make you appear older - and give you a glow that money can’t buy.

Grow old gracefully, but give yourself a little help along the way and you’ll look and feel confident whether you’re 25 or 75!
